Blewett, who played 46 Tests and 32 ODIs in his career, said that over the last month or so they have shown a fair bit of footage of some really good Australian fielders who have gone before these guys.

Blewett insisted that it was in an attempt to get them to force a bit of their own legacy, adding that it was also to create a bit of competition amongst the guys at training.
